Yesterday, at home I was very sick and could not keep down anything, water and fluids included. This morning I only had water and was sick on that too. I am not really surprised as if the scar tissue has been closing the aperture then it makes sense eventually it will close it completely. So I have to come into hospital in order to be hydrated. The plan is to put me on to TPN to give me some nutrition as well. So I will be an in patient until such time as they give me my procedure to stretch the opening so that I can eat. I have been told this morning it will be a while before I can eat normally again which is a shame as we were hoping to go to Verona in two weeks and I thought that I might have just made it. We had tickets to see Sam Smith perform in the roman arena – I am a bit gutted to miss this.
So I sit in a waiting room in Surgical Admissions, at the Royal Sussex County waiting to find out which ward I will be on and be assessed. I do not know when the operation will be, but it is no more urgent now than it was before and they will not speed me through, so it will be Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday …. hopefully not later. Definitely not eating is a great way to loose weight.
